How do you know your concrete floor could use an epoxy coating?
These are the things people usually notice first. Each one is simpler to fix while the problem is small and the slab is still bare.
Oil stains that won't scrub out
Dark patches under the car or mower usually mean oil has soaked into the concrete, and it has to come out before any coating will hold.
Dust coming off the floor
Bare concrete that leaves grit on your shoes is wearing away at the surface. Left alone, it keeps shedding and gets harder to keep clean.
An old coating peeling up
Flaking paint or coating usually means the first job skipped the prep. It keeps lifting, and every loose bit has to come off before a new coat.
Cracks and chipped spots
Hairline cracks and chipped spots where the top layer has broken off let water and dirt in, and they're cheaper to repair before they spread.
Damp spots or a white haze
Dark damp patches or a powdery white film often point to moisture coming up through the slab, which needs testing before anything goes over it.
A floor that's slick when wet
Smooth concrete or an old glossy coating can turn slippery with tracked-in snow or a spill, and that stays a risk until the surface changes.
Our epoxy floor coating work, start to finish
Most of an epoxy floor's life is settled before the epoxy is opened, so the concrete comes first. We grind the surface so the coating has a rough, clean face to grip, fill the cracks, patch the spalls where the top has broken away, and test the slab for moisture. When the slab is ready, we lay the coating and finish it the way you chose, and if it isn't ready, I'll tell you that instead of coating over the problem.
If the floor is in your garage, our garage floor coatings page covers the flake finishes and prep that suit a floor you park on. For shops, plants and stores, our commercial and industrial epoxy floor coatings are built for carts, equipment and steady foot traffic.

How much does an epoxy floor coating cost in Kokomo, IN?
An installed epoxy floor coating usually costs about $3 to $12 per square foot across the US, and that's the market's range, not our price. Where your floor falls depends mostly on how much grinding, crack repair and old-coating removal it needs, along with the size of the space and the finish you pick. Our estimate gives you the figure for your floor and spells out the prep.
What is the best way to prepare concrete for epoxy?
Roughening the concrete by machine, called mechanical profiling, is the first choice, and one coating maker's guide calls it the safest method. Acid etching won't remove oil or other petroleum products, so if your floor has oil marks, ask any crew you talk to which method they plan to use. Cracked or chipped concrete should be repaired during the prep, and it's fair to ask whether that's in the price.
Does my concrete floor need a moisture test before epoxy?
Usually yes, because moisture rising out of a slab can affect the coating, and coating makers commonly require a moisture test before installation. Each maker has to state the highest reading its product accepts, so ask which limit your chosen coating sets. Concrete poured 28 days ago can still be unsuitable in some conditions, and an older slab can have a moisture source that keeps going, so age alone doesn't tell you a floor is ready.
Can an epoxy floor be made less slippery?
Yes, a fine grit can be added to the finish to make an epoxy floor less slick. Epoxy can be slippery on its own, so ask for the grit when you choose your finish and we'll add it to your floor.
Is it safe to apply epoxy floor coating myself?
It can be done, but epoxy is dangerous if it touches your skin or if its vapors, mists or particles are breathed in during spraying. Some people who work with it develop an allergy that reacts to every small skin contact afterward, so weigh that before taking the job on yourself.
What causes an epoxy floor to peel or lift?
Peeling usually traces back to the concrete under the coating, whether the slab wasn't prepared well, oil was left in it, or moisture was coming up through it. Coating over a visibly wet surface or an active leak isn't ordinary moisture control, and the water source may need a waterproofing specialist, an engineer or the coating's maker before any floor goes down.
